The communist, Soviet style media is really bummed that the ratings for last night’s sham hearings were such a dud. Yahoo in particular is really triggered, in an article entitled “January 6 Primetime Hearing Proves A Slow Start At Unraveling A Dreadful Day In American History – Commentary”, the hack writer named Dominic Patten calls what happened on January 6th, 2021 a “MAGA-fueled murderous attack on the U.S. Capitol”. Hyperbole much Yahoo?
There was one person killed that day at the Capitol. It was protester Ashli Babbitt who was shot and killed by security thug Michael Byrd. I guess Yahoo has to get their anger out that their sham trial absolutely bombed in the ratings.
If tonight’s primetime debut of the House January 6 committee investigating the MAGA-fueled murderous attack on the U.S. Capitol last year was any indication of how the democracy-protecting politicians plan on making their pitch to the American public, they fell short.
The fact is Thursday’s hearings led by chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) and vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was not effective.
The first of six televised hearings, tonight was not just another public Congressional panel in anyone’s mind. This was television intended by the Committee to reach the widest audience possible to alert them to the fragile state of American democracy, especially as we head to the midterms and the 2024 election. The lives of the police officers injured and those tragically taken that January day, and in the aftermath should have been front and center to show the very real human toll of the vile attack. Perhaps current Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department are coming soon with criminal charges after depicting former President Donald Trump using social media and a speech preceding the incident to incite right wing extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, but tonight’s curtain raiser sadly played out more as another somber stumble for America.
